_______________________________
Henry, the son of Earl Malcolm, succeeded as Earl of Atholl before 24 August 1198, as he was a witness to an agreement between Roger, Bishop of St Andrews, and Henry, Abbot of Arbroath, made that year, the year of the birth of Prince Alexander, son of King William. He confirms a grant to the canons of St Andrews of the chruch of Dull, which had also been made by his father. The charter is not dated, but may be about 1202, and it is confirmed by King Alexander II in 1228. He also confirmed his father's grant to the monks of Dunfermline of the church of Moulin, and a grant to the abbey of Scone. Little more is known about him, and he died before 1211, as Thomas, Earl of Atholl, appears at that date. Henry's wife is referred to in various writs as Margaret the Countess, but it is not certain who she was. Earl Henry and Margaret his wife had issue surviving, two daughters only, who became successively Countesses of Atholl. They were (1) Isabella, and (2) Forflissa or Fernelith, bot noted below. Earl Henry, however, had a son, apparently illegitamet, who describes himself as Conan, son of Henry, later Earl of Atholl, in a charter by him to the monks of Lindores giving to them the privilege of taking dead wood and other timber from his wood of Tulyhen or Tulloch, near Blair Athol. The charter, which may be dated about 1220, is witnessed by Ewyn or Ewen, son of the granter; and Hath, son of Gilbride, his son-in-law. Conan also made a similar grant to the monks of Cupar from his lands of 'Glenherthy and Tolykyne' (Glenerrichdie and Tulloch), which was confirmed by his son Eugenius or Ewen who married Mary, daughter and co-heiress of Convall, son of Duncan, Laird of Tullibardine, and whose daughter is said, by a recent writer to have married Andrew de Atholia, or an ancestor of his, and to have carried to him the above-named lands, which were long held by his posterity, the Robertsons of Strowan and Auchleeks.
